How It Works
The Kansas Home Rebates Program is divided into two categories:
- The Home Efficiency Rebate Program (HER)
- The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR)
The Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) provides rebates for energy efficiency improvements within an entire home. Eligible improvements may include a combination of energy saving measures such as appliance and HVAC system upgrades, adding insulation, air sealing, and associated electrical panel and/or wiring upgrades. The Home Electrification Appliance Rebates (HEAR) is intended to provide rebates for single or stand-alone appliance (i.e. heat pumps), or energy upgrades (i.e. insulation, electric load service center, electric wiring, insulation, air sealing, and mechanical ventilation).
Before funding is available to citizens, it must be awarded to a state energy office for the two programs. In Kansas, that office is the Kansas Energy Office, which resides within the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC).
To access the rebate funding, each state must submit an application and have it reviewed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in order to receive the funding. Kansas is allocated $52.9 million for the Home Efficiency Rebate Program and $52.6 million for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate program. The below tracker outlines the process for KCC to receive the funding to launch the Kansas Home Rebate program.
Kansas is committed to creating a program that is balanced, fair, and easily accessible to those households most in need of energy cost saving improvements.
